Hawley seeks to repeal Medicaid cuts he voted for

  • Last Tuesday, Republicans delayed Medicaid work requirements until 2027 and funding changes until 2028 to avoid backlash in the 2026 midterm elections.
  • According to Politico, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act delays its most controversial Medicaid elements, while conservatives prepare another reconciliation bill later this year with deeper cuts.
  • Sen. Josh Hawley warned that at least 300 rural hospitals face closure risk, illustrating rural hospital vulnerability, as Tuesday Sen. Chuck Schumer said that rural hospitals face closure risk.
  • Hawley introduced Protect Medicaid and Rural Hospitals Act, targeting a provider tax moratorium and reductions he helped pass weeks ago, Axios reported.
